Recipe: Electric Lemon Bars

Someone at work was highly generous and brought in a near tree’s worth of Meyer lemons. Of course I grabbed some up and in return made lemon bars to share with my coworkers. Since then, everyone has been asking me for the recipe and here it is!

This is a recipe I’ve been making for years and years and years and years. A friend of mine loves them and I always bake him a batch when we meet up. A coworker’s picky daughter ate it and loved it, so that’s like an extra thumbs up of approval!

I call them Electric Lemon Bars because of the bright yellow coloring. And with a shortbread crust, it feels like you get two desserts: a cookie and a pie! Sort of. Okay, enough rambling, here’s the recipe…This is for an 8×8 or a 9×9 square pan, but can easily be doubled to make a 9×13 pan.
